Frequently Asked Questions
The tool reads the capture info (EXIF) stored in your photo and fills in the date and time automatically. If none is found, today's date is used. You can edit both the date and time.
Yes. HEIC photos from the iPhone's default camera are converted automatically so the date can be stamped. The result is saved as a JPG.
By default it uses the same 7-segment LED font (orange) that old film-camera date backs used. You can switch to a normal font too, and pick from 7 colors (orange, white, black, red, yellow, green, blue) so it stays readable on bright photos.
Modern phone cameras usually don't stamp the date onto the photo, and the iPhone's default camera has no date-stamp option at all. This tool reads the capture date (EXIF) from a photo you already took and adds it onto the image, so you don't need to change any camera settings.
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser and your photos are never uploaded anywhere. It is completely private.
The easiest way to add a date to a photo
Adding a date to a photo means stamping the capture date (and optionally the time) right onto the image. Just upload a photo you already took and this tool reads the date stored in the file (EXIF) and prints it on the picture, just like an old film camera. No app, no sign-up — it all happens in your browser.
Add a date even to photos you already took
A phone's built-in date stamp only works the moment you shoot, and the iPhone's default camera has no date-stamp option at all. This tool works the other way around: it adds the date to a photo already in your gallery — perfect for travel, events, job-site records, or baby photos where you need the date later.
Works with iPhone and Android photos (including HEIC)
Upload the HEIC photos an iPhone shoots by default and they are converted automatically, dated, and saved as JPG. JPG, PNG, and WebP from any phone or camera work too.
How to add a date to a photo (3 steps)
- Upload — drag or pick a photo; the capture date and time fill in automatically.
- Choose the style — date only or date + time, position, 7 colors, film or normal font, and size.
- Download — save the dated photo as a JPG.
Film-camera date look, your format
The default font is the 7-segment orange LED type used on film-camera date backs. You can change the date order (2024 8 27, 2024.08.27, 27 8 2024), add the time, or show the time only. Orange suits nostalgic shots; white or black is cleaner for records.
Private by design
Your photos are never uploaded to a server — everything is processed in your browser, so even personal photos stay on your device.
